How to Adjust Article Width in Hugo Wowchemy (formerly Academic)

Customization can be done as follows.

For advanced style customization, you can write CSS code to override or enhance existing styles.

1. Create the assets/scss/ folder if it doesn’t exist.
2. Create a file named custom.scss in the assets/scss/ folder.
3. Add your custom CSS code to the file you created and re-run Hugo to view the changes.

You can specify it like this as appropriate:

.article-container {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 1000px;
    min-width: 500px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
}
